Temptation is always there. You have to stay strong bro!

My relapse had to with my sex addiction. Porn was the originator of that addiction and i have not relapsed into porn. In fact these days I have little interest in it. But you really can't separate the two as one (porn) morphed into the other. I thought I had the thing beat but I think school stress and other things drew me back in.

Just like an alcoholic only having to have one drink I had one anonymous hookup that led to more and led me back into the porn industry where I had previously done work. I justified that I needed the cash (gay for pay...sigh) but in reality it was to satisfy that addiction, that thrill of the action. That if I was going to do something I might as well get paid and I didn't have to spend hours, days weeks looking for that next hookup online. The studio set it all up for me, all I had to do was be willing to sell my body which was easy. The cash was good but the dopamine was better...

I kinda wish it was only porn that I relapsed into but that would be an oversimplification of what you and others are trying to overcome. An addiction is an addiction.

They all suck and the irony of my situation really sucks.

But I was "sober" for over a year. I'll get back there again, you will too!

Stay strong!

Wow... reading this thread just gave me a serious "ah ha!" moment. Urges are basically the brain's way of telling you it wants a blast of dopamine, so find a healthy way of making that happen. This whole journey is simply about changing where you allow the brain to get these dopamine hits from.

Yep - going to save that one into the 'nofap swipe file' - simply said and easy to remember.

two : i can't function if i keep getting these overwhelming thoughts so i have to make them go away because there's no point in abstaining if you are in this state of emotional paralysis .. so what did i do ?
i knew this was my brain telling me it needs some dopamine so i had to give it to my brain somehow so i got up got my sneakers on didn't even get out of the house just went to my room put on some music and started to workout as hard as i can for as long as i can and....

i really felt that rush of dopamine afterwords and during and felt so much more confident that i conquered my very strong urge , i recommend this magical solution to everyone ,i really see this as a real life panic button u don't need to be on a tract or Jim you don't even have to be Wearing anything specific just when you get this urge pickup your feet warm up to avoid injuries ..and workout like it's the last thing you gonna do ,and enjoy the victory after.
stay healthy everyone ,stay strong .

Those lines were the reason I sadly ended my streak of 25 days, I couldn't concentrate on my studies and couldn't stop thinking of those thoughts, I didn't know it was just my brain wanting dopamine, I thought it was going to be a permanent state, definitely going to workout or do something else to stop these thoughts next time they occur. Really appreciate the advice and good job on your streak!
